Belt of Truth Ministries The battle of po*******hy addiction is brutal. As men, we are lured into it’s snare like a moth to a flame. Why is this? This is why po*******hy is a lie.

The official page for Stephen Kuhn, author of 10 Lies Men Believe about P**n, 52 Amazing Things That Became True of You the Moment You Trusted Christ, and founder of Belt of Truth Ministries. Why can’t we just walk away from it no matter how hard we try? It’s because we are focusing on the wrong battle. As men, we tend to believe our struggles with po*******hy are about s*xual desire. But if this

were the case, my belief that my addiction would go away once I was married would have been at least partially true. So why was it my addiction actually became worse once I was married? Why did I repeatedly choose to walk away from my beautiful, loving wife to get my s*xual needs met through po*******hy? The only answer that makes sense, is that po*******hy addiction isn’t actually the result of an overzealous libido. It’s also not from having an under-attentive spouse, a lack of willpower, or strong s*xual desire. P**nography addiction is the result of trying to meet the deepest needs of your soul without having to risk anything in the process. The problem with p**n though, is it can never make good on it’s promise. It actually pulls you away from the very things that will meet those needs. Luckily, God gives us His answer on how to overcome temptation:

"Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" (Ephesians 6:13–17).

Whether or not you functionally recognize it, at the epicenter of your s*xual world exists a God of awesome power, glory, and grace. S*x in its rightful place in your heart and life always begins by recognizing that he is at the center.

God created and has good purposes for s*x in the context of marriage, and we don't always view it rightly.

Modern identity ends up crushing people because they’re responsible for validating their own value, but we just aren’t up to that task—it’s not how we’re designed. All of us look for validation outside of ourselves. We’re full of conflicting and changeable feelings and beliefs, so it’s never stable. It’s fragile.

In a post-Christian culture, it’s really important Christian ambassadors are good translators. People steeped in our modern culture have a very different worldview than Christianity. It’s easy for those we’re talking with about the Gospel to misunderstand what we’re saying. I attended a conf...

I needed to take a break from acting, because I really idolized it. So I came off from it and I went on a journey to discover my relationship with God, and I became a Christian. It really just gave me so much love and light within myself. I felt secure, like I didn’t need validation from anyone else, or getting a part. My happiness wasn’t dependent on that, it was dependent on my relationship with God.

One of the breakout stars of Black Panther was T'Challa's little sister Shuri, played to tremendous charm and comedic effect by Letitia Wright. Shuri is the smartest person to appear in a Marvel movie but also one of the spunkiest. There's a good reason to love the actress herself, too. On th

No matter what you do and how much you know, if you remain in isolation without strong support from some other believers, you will not find freedom from p**n and s*xual addiction. I was a pastor for 26 years but had a secret life of s*xual addiction for eight years until the truth came out. I am in my 13th year of recovery, and it has happened because I am strongly connected with other men who help keep me accountable.

Every new year, I'd set another resolution to stop watching p**n. But I failed again and again until I really started to believe and live these five truths.

"Imagine the best father you know. God is infinitely better than that. Consider your love, if you are a parent, for your children. God’s love is infinitely better than that. We are either orphans in a world that doesn’t care, with all its self-centered and self-serving people, or at the center of the universe there is One who will never turn us away."

This is one of those truths that our hearts—with all our jacked up human experiences—just cannot seem to accept. For some, comparing God’s love to that of an earthly father is more painful than promising, more destructive than inspiring. This must be some kind of trick. God must surely mean by...

"The thief on the cross should give us hope for those we know who are far from Christ. They may be caught up in the darkest of sins. They may be fully committed to their love of darkness. They may have scoffed and rejected Christ at every opportunity. But there is still hope."

There’s this moment on the cross when Jesus is about to die that seems strange to me. It’s one that’s easy to gloss over, or ignore, or even turn into a debate: Jesus’ encounter with the thief on the cross. As he was crucified, two thieves jeered and mocked him. But as the day went …

"Many men want great friendships without any risk factor. Sharing an area of struggle or telling someone that you want to get to know them better feels risky. It is risky. People can misunderstand us, judge us or otherwise disappoint us. If we’re honest, we’ve all known some form of rejection in our lives and we’d prefer to avoid that in our future. But the ability to be our authentic selves, our good, bad and ugly selves, is impossible without vulnerability."

Why hundreds of Facebook friends can still leave us without the relationships we long for.
